Germany charges pensioner for sharing meme

A Bavarian man’s home was raided for retweeting an image calling Economy Minister Robert Habeck an “idiot”

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has pressed charges against a 64-year-old man from Bavaria for sharing a meme calling him an idiot.

Sometime in June, Stefan Niehoff shared a meme featuring a photo of Habeck with an altered logo of a popular shampoo brand, changing it from Schwarzkopf (black head) to Schwachkopf (weak head).
